so the best solution for incoming outgoing bitcoins and also secure is Armory? i wanted to opt for the bitcoin client platform but will give it a go to Armory as well

for day to day petty cash, say < 400 BTC then blockchain.info wallet (they have some issues just the last couple of days but are good)for say < 5,000 BTC Mt. Gox with a Yubi key & PW from lastpass, also with a Yubi key & dedicated reset email addresses from gmail with 2FA for > 5,000 BTC then Armory wallet on a dedicated offline laptop with USB flash drive & paper wallet backups in different locations & with deathswitchs

for 100 - 2,000 BTC + consider lending some out to Pirate or one of his feeders (I can do this if you wished), top rate paying 7% per week interest

I've moved 5 figure amounts to Gox via Dwolla but they can be a bit skittish & need a bunch of KYC, for large amounts just wire to the exchanges, I use http://www.xe.com/xetrade quick, cheap, efficient & easy - charge less than banks 1.4% over mid-market rates for currency conversions, most types of transfers are free & all arranged & executed fast online, assuming that you have Internet banking with your bank then that's all you need

cool, any further details needed just ask, the blockchain.info wallet may not be working 100% for a couple of days but once they sort out their glitch they are the best, back the wallet up encrypted by email

i sent you a pm Otoh but the previous post has a good answer how to spend bitcoins from armory wallet? or personal bitcoin wallet?

PM answered, yep spending Bitcoins from any wallet an easy way is just to enter the private keys in Mt. Gox if you wished to sell at spot & cash out in $ for any amount, I missed covering Bitcoinica in your OP - personally I would never park money there, if you are gambling on the site you will know your own risk tolerance, but I believe that there is a strong possibility given their MO that they could well go TU if the Bitcoin price were to quickly double or triple - which I also believe is bound to happen one day or at least isn't something that I'd like to bet against
